Trini Pastelle ( Soya ) - Episode 289

[@DamiselleParanoiaque]

Hi Natasha, just started following you because I'd love to learn more about caribbean recipes and so far, I'm loving this channel! I'm mexican and I have to say these pastelles are pretty similar to the mexican dish "tamales", we make them with corn dough and some filling made with our traditional ingredients, and we use corn leaves to wrap it, but in some parts of the country (specially southeast) they make them with banana tree leaves, like this one. Thanks for sharing awesome recipes so that the world get to know an amazing culture!

Thanks ...looks delicious

[@andicat5638]

I am definitely using this recipe.

[@bestearthexplore]

Exactly the recipe I was looking for..thanks

[@shac4229]

Hey Natasha, great recipe thanks so much. We also use the vegetarian Crumbles to make our pastelle. But just a little heads up for the vegetarians out there (I am vegetarian as well) - Worcestershire sauce is NOT vegetarian, it contains anchovies. There is vegan Worcestershire sauce available or the liquid Maggie (does not contain MSG) is a good substitute. Hope this helps. Keep the great recipes coming :)

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Sha C thank you for that I honestly forgot.

[@simgirl_anuradhap3277]

[@NakimuliSpeaks]

[@dahlia2057]

Thank you Natasha for another great recipe. I'm definitely going to make for Christmas.

[@simoneparsram7662]

Love the vegetarian version will try soon .we don't get that type of corn flour in Guyana is there any other brand I can use

[@estersooknanan9939]

Hi Natasha I want to try vegetarian pastelles for the first time, I bought mince soya and mushrooms in your opinion is that a good combination. Also the soya is the brown kind not the light color that you used. Thanks and have a merry Christmas and a blessed new year.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Hello Ester, the dark soya will work also. yes mushrooms will go great in it as well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@rosedookie2760]

I have to make this looks delicious

[@jelineteneka9452]

u can also used bhagi instead for a filling

[@scotland2012]

can these be frozen? if yes..how long does it last for?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Leena Maharaj these can last 6 months maybe up to 1 year.

[@terrancemarshall7957]

Hi Natasha.... is the one cup measurement the regular one cup?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Yes it is.

[@preyasingh9953]

[@falirampersad5787]

Yummy ..yummy

[@ayanainnisshagley4399]

I'm gonna try this 👍🏽

[@reeshmarosan2037]

What can I use to get that weird smell off the soya

[@lillian7035]

Reeshma Rosan try soaking overnight in water with lemon juice or vinegar. I find it helps remove the off taste/smell.

[@sylvester135757]

Hi Natasha, I'm still watching your Christmas cooking. It makes me feel at home. Trini English.

[@kerryannwebb5308]

Hey Natasha good day can I use mince soya

[@nahlaparker3270]

what about using corn husk or parchment paper to wrap it in?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Nahla Parker corn husk sure parchment paper no because remember you will boil this.

Hi Natasha. Thanks for all the recipe for 2017. Wishing you a happy new year. How can we get nice roll dasheen bush in Birmingham England. Trinidadian in Birmingham make callaloo with spinach but it's not the same. taste. Thanks Irish cream.

[@andicat5638]

I find that if you process the soya with the seasonings it enhances the flovor exponentially.

[@rakeshpersaud9106]

looks delicious!

[@riaallick5092]

Can I use fish?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Ria Allick sure

[@sybilhogan3553]

Why aren't you using banana leaves? Is this the came recipe which was displayed on Oct 4 on the sunny @ suindown show. Thank you

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Sybil Hogan I live in Florida so if I'm lucky to get banana leaves I use them if not I use the foil paper. I'm not aware of this showing on that show, if it did that's amazing.
